💖 emac_setmac(9) — Kernel API Manual energy 💖

okay so bestie, this is the emac_setmac(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and we're about to talk about setting a MAC address in the adapter. It's an internal function, so it's giving backstage-pass vibes only. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

emac_setmac — Set mac address in the adapter (internal function) 💅

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

void emac_setmac (struct emac_priv *priv , u32 ch , char *mac_addr );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• priv — the DaVinci EMAC private adapter structure. That's the main-character struct, obvs. 👑
• ch — RX channel number. Yep, exactly that. 🦋
• mac_addr — MAC address to set in device. Slay. 💅

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

Called internally to set the mac address of the adapter (Device). No cap. ✨

Returns success (0) or appropriate error code (none as of now). So success is literally 0, and the error-code situation is, as of now, a future plotline. 😭
